Currently, I'm wrapping up an indie film I have been working in for the past few weeks (weekend shoots, as everyone still has a day job)...

Anywhoo, this normally wouldn't be a problem except for one thing: Its all green screen.

So, how do I go about putting this into my demo reel? Should I just place the Green Screen raw footage in there, or perhaps the finished product? Or, I could have them spliced to show one, and then present the other in a back-to-back format?

For anyone who hasn't worked on a greenscreen set, its probably the most challenging acting positions I've been in. I'm a very imaginative person, however over 70% of it was me alone in that concave green world, me performing to no actor, but an imaginative landscape and people. With the rest of the shots dealing with holding dialogue with another actor on set.

Anyway-- Any advice?

Bump for sheer curiousity.

I'm thinking that it honestly depends on the varying projects. But I just need the professional opinion here.

Many thanks,

I think that it would show your acting abilities to show before and after FX. Pick a scene and wait for the final product. I might even highlight it as a interview telling a short bit about the experience and showing the result.
